Today is Thanksgiving. My mom and I were supposed to have driven to Upstate New York to make dinner for my Grandparents and Great-Aunt, but many things came up that made us cancel the trip. When something new came up we managed to find a way around it - we even decided to leave a day early when we heard about the big snow storm that was coming Tuesday night into Wednesday - we got 1 foot of snow. In the end we had to call it off.
I didn't expect much for Thanksgiving (especially after all the problems that started a week before), but we just had our dinner and I have to say it was GREAT! We made: turkey, stuffing, cranberries, mashed potatoes, yams, artichoke and spinach, rolls and pumpkin cheesecake. We have way too much food for two people, but it was such a nice time. I only wish my dad could have been home from Iraq to celebrate with us - he will be home for Christmas.
Your turkey looks wonderful! I am proud of your going ahead and doing everything even though there were only the two of you. I am sure your Mom appreciated it. Now you know how to cook another special meal!
